FYI: The World's Funnest posts are unlocked for all paid tiers, $1 and up. My Patreon now has over 900 posts folks can read and look at, many of which are unlocked at the $1 tier (the total's closer to 1000, but there's a lot of posts that are art/book sales and I don't count them). Lots to see.

New on the Patreon: The 16th post in the WORLD'S FUNNEST retrospective is up. It's the DCAU segment, penciled by Glen Murakami and inked by Bruce Timm. Script's included, and I wrote about the genesis of the segment, how editor Joey Cavalieri saved it, getting the artists, etc.

Promo card for a new post to my Patreon about the DC animated sequence of the World's Funnest comic I wrote twenty-five years ago. This segment of the comic was drawn by Glen Murakami and Bruce Timm.

Four panels from a sequence from the comic book World's Funnest, drawn by Glen Murakami and Bruce Timm. The sequence is drawn as storyboards in the style of the Warner Brothers animated superhero TV shows. IN these panels Mr Mxyzptlk smashes Superman and batman together to create Composite Superman. It's fairly deep nerd crap, which I kind of live on.

My ongoing Street Wolves campaign got into Dead Hand in a sideways manner. They're in chapter 2 Blood and Neon. The main plot is a different, but the encounters and such are the same.

I think they're terrified of the cartel assassins after watching security footage of them mowing a stash house.

I've said it in a professional context before that the tech bro ethos "move fast and break things" would land a person in jail in any other context.

When I started writing Heart of Glass the main goal was create an adventure that:

1. Had audio logs in the form of cassette tapes that the investigators find.

2. Was like a Coen brothers thriller with a lil Twin Peaks thrown in.

3. Featured a town in the midst of a Satanic panic.
